'THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS JOY AND PEACE.'

8 & 7s M.

HOLY Spirit, source of gladness!
Come with all Thy radiance bright;
O'er our weariness and sadness
Breathe Thy life, and shed Thy light!
Send us Thine illumination,

Banish all our fears at length;
Rest upon this congregation,
Spirit of unfailing Strength!

Let that love, which knows no measure,
Now in quickening showers descend,
Bringing us the richest treasure

Man can wish or God can send;
Hear our earnest supplication;
Every struggling heart release;
Rest upon this congregation,
Spirit of untroubled Peace!

THE LIGHT OF LIFE.
78 M.

LIGHT of life, seraphic Fire!
Love divine, Thyself impart;
Every fainting soul inspire;
Enter every drooping heart:
Every mournful spirit cheer;
Scatter all our doubt and gloom;
Father, in Thy grace appear,
To Thy human temples come!

Come, in this accepted hour,
Bring Thy heavenly kingdom in ;
Fill us with Thy glorious power,
Rooting out the seeds of sin :
Nothing more can we require,
We can rest in nothing less;
Be Thou all our heart's desire,
All our joy and all our peace.

LOVE DIVINE.

8 & 7s M.

Love divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down!
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All Thy faithful mercies crown.
Father! Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every longing heart.

Breathe, O, breathe Thy loving spirit
Into every troubled breast;
Let us all in Thee inherit,

Let us find Thy promised rest.
Come, almighty to deliver,

Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously come down, and never, Never more Thy temples leave!

'O SEND FORTH THY LIGHT.'

10s M.

O THOU whose power o'er moving worlds presides,

Whose voice created, and whose wisdom guides ! On darkling man in pure effulgence shine,

And cheer the clouded mind with light divine.

'Tis Thine alone to calm the pious breast With silent confidence and holy rest;

From Thee, great God! we spring, to Thee we tend,

Path, Motive, Guide, Original, and End!

INVITATION AND INTRODUCTION.

17.

INVITATION.

S. M

COME to the house of prayer,
O ye afflicted, come!

The God of peace shall meet you there,
He makes that house His home.

Come to the house of praise,
Ye who are happy now;
In sweet accord your voices raise,
In kindred homage bow.

Ye aged, hither come,
For ye have felt His love;
Soon shall ye lift a holier song
In fairer courts above.

Ye young, before His throne, Come, bow; your voices raise; Let not your hearts His praise disown, Who gives the power to praise.

Thou, whose benignant eye
In mercy looks on all;
Who seest the tear of misery,
And hear'st the mourner's call;

Up to Thy dwelling-place
Bear our frail spirits on,

Till they outstrip time's tardy pace,
And heaven on earth be won.

18.

COME, YE DISCONSOLATE.

P. M.

COME, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish; Come, at the shrine of God fervently kneel! Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish ;

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

Joy of the desolate, Light of the straying,
Hope, when all others die, fadeless and pure,
Here speaks the Comforter, in God's name
saying,

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure.

19.

'CAST THY BURDEN UPON THE LORD.'

S. M.

How gentle God's commands!

How kind His precepts are!

Come, leave your burdens to the Lord,
And trust His constant care.
